Court of Appeals of New York
Morris v. Schroder Capital Mgmt.Int'l, 137
Two questions certified by U.S. Court of Appeals, in case dismissed from federal court that alleged former employer failed to pay plaintiff certain deferred compensation benefits, are answered: 1) the factual determination of 'involuntary termination' (i.e., whether an employee quit or was fired) under the New York common law employee choice doctrine is governed by the 'constructive discharge' test from federal employment discrimination law; and 2) the second question is not answered as academic.
